SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
The northeastern corner of Vermont around Westfield supports multiple camping styles across several recreational areas. Campgrounds in this region, often called the Northeast Kingdom, include Tree Corners Family Campground in Irasburg and Lake Carmi State Park in Enosburg Falls. Most developed campgrounds accommodate both tent and RV camping, with select locations offering cabin rentals. Lake Carmi State Park features waterfront sites and boat-in camping options, while several smaller private campgrounds provide mixed-use accommodations for various camping preferences.
Seasonal considerations heavily impact camping in the Westfield area, with most campgrounds operating from mid-May through mid-October. "Our first time in Vermont, we were coming from Montreal, Quebec. Lake Carmi in Franklin is less than 1 1/2 hours from Montreal with a really pleasant drive through very scenic routes," noted one visitor. Winter conditions close most camping areas, though some state parks maintain year-round accessibility for day use. The region experiences significant temperature variations, with summer highs typically in the 70s-80s°F and cooler evenings, especially at higher elevations. Many campgrounds require reservations, particularly for waterfront sites and weekend stays during peak season. Cell service remains inconsistent throughout the area, with better coverage near larger towns.
Waterfront camping dominates the regional camping experience, with sites on Lake Memphremagog and various smaller lakes receiving consistent visitor praise. Several campgrounds feature direct water access for swimming, fishing, and boating activities. Campers frequently highlight privacy and natural surroundings as key attributes of their experience. "The sites were long and spacious. We had one right next to the playground so our daughter could walk straight to it without having to cross a road," shared one reviewer about a family-friendly campground. Developed campgrounds typically provide water, electric hookups, and shower facilities, while more remote camping areas offer greater solitude with limited amenities. Proximity to hiking trails, mountain biking routes, and small Vermont towns provides additional recreational opportunities beyond the immediate camping area.

Jamie W.ScoutKings Bay Campground
Favorite Place
Kings Bay has become our favorite place to spend the warmer months. We enjoy the quiet mornings, casual afternoons, and evenings outside when the campground starts to settle down.

kids Can Stay Aactive
One of the things we enjoy most about Kings Bay is how easy it is for different generations of our family to enjoy the same trip. The kids can stay active and explore, while the adults have plenty of time to sit outside, talk, and relax. We have celebrated birthdays and family get-togethers here, and it has become a place that everyone looks forward to visiting. There is something special about having a familiar campground where so many memories have been made.

Kings Bay Campground
Whole Summer
Our family brought our camper to Kings Bay for the whole summer, and it has been a great place for us. The kids always have something to do, whether they are near the water, riding around the campground, or spending time with the friends they’ve made here.

Campground Is Peaceful
Keeping our camper at Kings Bay for the season has made summer weekends so much easier. We can come up whenever we have a few free days without worrying about towing the RV, finding a new site, or packing everything each time. The lake is obviously the biggest highlight for us. We love having easy access to the water, and the campground is peaceful without feeling isolated. The recreation hall is also nice to have when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

First Time At Kings Bay
This was our first time staying at Kings Bay, and we had a really relaxing weekend. Our RV site had the hookups we needed, and the campground was quiet enough that we could actually slow down and enjoy being outside.

Kings Bay Campground
One Of Our Favorite Places
We’ve spent several summers camping at Kings Bay, and it has become one of our favorite places to get away. Most days we spend time near the water, take the kayak out, or just relax outside at our site. The campground has a friendly atmosphere, and we’ve gotten to know a lot of the other campers over the years. It really feels like a second home during the summer.
